Currently, the World Military Games are taking place, an event that goes far beyond sporting competition. During the games, soldiers from all over the world come together not only to demonstrate their sporting skills, but to live the values of international co-operation for peace and friendship. It is a celebration of unity in diversity where people from different cultures and nations share their passion for sport.

This impressive event reminds me that one day we will stand before God – not alone, but together with people from all nations.

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language…

Revelation 7:9a

What a marvellous picture of unity and diversity! Heaven will be a place where differences do not divide us but enrich us. This anticipation motivates me to build bridges today and to live in peace and friendship in my neighbourhood.

Have you ever thought about what comes after life? How does this question influence your life and your relationships with other people?

Applicable Bible text: John 13:34-35
